The official TTC Design Guidelines lists the Tetriminos in it's own order, but for no apparent reason other than for consistency in the documentation. I would say put them in alphabetical order (IJLOSTZ) or use random generation. :P

BTW, if you want to follow the guidelines make sure your O is yellow as it looks a bit orange in your pic.

TTC != TOA

We implemented a fix so infinite rotations no longer exist in Tetris Arena. This occurred some time before Arena Challenge was initially launched.

Is there any news about EHD mode?  or any real tournaments coming from TTC?  The Tetris community is lacking a large official tournament backed by TTC, we've been hosting our own tournaments on multiple variants and players are scattered all over.

I'll find out more about EHD later today; I don't see anything slated for design yet.

I understand the need for more organized tournaments but I don't know what the solution is. Providing the right tools such as the HD Ladder system that you have is a logical step towards organizing tournaments. But even that takes development time. Honestly, I don't know what TTC is up to but I can tell you that if TTC or TOA is going to host any tournaments you need to consider the time and effort involved. Tetris is marketed as a casual puzzle game and the hardcore Tetris community is such a small fraction of the total populace. Also, I doubt TTC will ever back any games that are non-TTC compliant. So, Nullpo and the like are out of the question. With that being said, I would like TOA to be more involved in organizing official tournaments. So...what is it that you propose? What online tools would you like implemented? What format do you want? If you can come up with a reasonable solution that won't take up too much time then I can present it to our Production team.

Hello everyone. For those that don't know me I'm a QA/Game Tester for Tetris Online of America. You may sometimes see me idling in some Tetris Arena rooms. Lately, I haven't had any time to play due to other projects we're working on. Anyways, I'm going to make it a point to be more engaged with you all in the HD community. I'm always receptive to new ideas to improve TF as well as issues/exploits that you may find.

Does anyone have any remedies or suggestions to reduce/fix lag?
Maybe something to accelerate the Flash or something.

What are your system specs? I also recommend SRWare Iron as DrPete mentioned.
